Tamil superstar Vijay had a proud and emotional moment as he took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in Chennai on Sunday. However, his wife's and children's absence from the ceremony sparked a heated debate on social media.
Vijay's parents and rumoured girlfriend Trisha Krishnan were present at the ceremony, but his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam and their children Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha were noticeably absent.
The absence of Vijay's family members has led to speculation about his personal life, with some fans expressing sadness and hurt on social media. However, some have come forward to defend Vijay, stating that he and his ex-wife know what they are doing and that their personal lives should not be scrutinized.
The divorce buzz surrounding Vijay and Sangeeta has been ongoing, with Sangeeta filing for divorce in February, alleging infidelity on Vijay's part. The couple has two children together and have been married since 1998.
Vijay's swearing-in ceremony marked a historic moment for the actor-politician, who has become the second actor-politician to achieve success in two years of floating a political party.
